Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the problem of the role and significance of the concept of work- life borders/boundaries in relation to the concept of Work-Life Balance (WLB). In the first part, the authores conduct a critical review of approaches and research on WLB issues in Western societies and in Poland. They point out the multitude of concepts for researching and explaining work-life balance, and their main limitations. In the second part, the authores present the theoretical delineation of the concept of border areas from the perspective of Border/Boundary Theory, indicating the main features of boundaries, their setting as well as styles and tactics of their management. Based on the concept of boundaries, authores propose a model for researching the dynamics of work-life domains considering the individual and organizational perspective.
